<p>Great post as usual, Kelly. I love the way you skewer the fad or buzzword of the day in your posts. I advise students in their job searches and use the expression "multi-faceted approach." I would guess in recruiting you need to do the same thing... not rely on any one method to source good candidates. I wonder if Zappos has a plan for how they organize the incoming barrage of candidates tweeting them in their #InsideZappos chats. I suppose the good news is that it will eliminate the "spray…</p>

I wonder if Zappos has a plan for how they organize the incoming barrage of candidates tweeting them in their #InsideZappos chats. I suppose the good news is that it will eliminate the "spray and pray" candidates that would try to reach them through traditional channels.</p> Kelly, you are absolutely rig…tag:www.recruitingblogs.com,2014-06-10:502551:Comment:18097542014-06-10T14:12:00.882ZSureshhttp://www.recruitingblogs.com/profile/Suresh97
<p>Kelly, you are absolutely right. Not all companies can create a talent network large enough to draw the right candidates for each niche (its a lot of work and money). Remember, many niche job boards have been focussed on this much longer than companies, long before the social media or talent community buzz.</p>

<p>Kelly, thanks! Yes, it is interesting how these great innovative ideas comes out and everyone thinks that this is where the whole community needs to go. As you pointed out, not everyone has the staff, tech know how or balls to do this. But guess what is missing? Those people you are trying to recruit! They are used to and dependent on job postings. That is the first thing they are looking for. There is no massive bulletin that goes to all job seekers and says this is how it is done now. If…</p>
<p>Kelly, thanks! Yes, it is interesting how these great innovative ideas comes out and everyone thinks that this is where the whole community needs to go.

That is the first thing they are looking for. There is no massive bulletin that goes to all job seekers and says this is how it is done now. If that was the case every job seeker would understand ATS, OFCCP and social media.</p>

<p>Yes, great article and well written. I skimmed through the Zappos story and didn't think it had legs for every company and industry. Also, there may be some resistance by job seekers not wanting to put the time in for the Zappos contests.</p>

<p>@ Kelly really good, as always! As you said, most of us recruit for ordinary companies- we aren't all Zapposistas (and Zapposistos, I guess).</p>
